Not much new info which isn't surprising, but still fun to watch. Thanks for the post! RIP FZ.
Lumpy Gravy is gorgeous, and not hard listening!
I stumbled into a small Mothers Of Invention concert in Berlin where a friend of mine worked there and i lived there between 1999-2000, it was very funny stuff. When Dweezil Zappa came with Zappa On Zappa here to Reykjavík, in 2006, i had to go. There he was touring with many of Franks band members and it was mind blowing! Stevie Vai blew the roof of the Art Museum they played in by the harbor. I'm very grateful that my father and other family members liked his music and installed in me to see those kinds of acts when it comes to town.
Thank you for this. Very kind of you to share.
If you don't know Zappa or his music but want to find out, skip this. It is not the "superb critical review" as described, nor is it a helpful summation of his work. This thing just skims over 1966-1971 at best, making you think that the only worthy stuff he did was the first three Mothers albums and Hot Rats, and gives no insight into the man or the music.
There's quite a lot of misinformation here too.... for example, We're Only In It For The Money had not been released in 1967 so Chris Welch could not have seen the 'drag' album cover by then, G-Spot Tornado is not on Hot Rats, Zappa never officially released recordings from the Montreaux gig where the fire happened... maybe not the most important bits of info but it shows up how little the people here actually know about the subject. Even Ben Watson, an acknowledged Zappa expert, annoys here by going on about how Freak Out relates to punk, as if punk is the ultimate yardstick of musical worth.
Zappa deserves an entire series of three-hour documentaries to do him and his work justice. This film fails even as a teaser.
Also,when they were talking about Lumpy Gravy, they were playing King Kong, which is from Uncle Meat of course, and didn't even mention that album.
200 Motels was done at at Pinewood Studios, not Shepperton Studios. The effects were achieved in real time but editing was done on film after it had been transferred from video tape. There are no "wild Jazz musicians playing on stage" in the movie.
Still waiting for a Zappa docu which is not crap.
BBC has one which is actually quite good and very accurate.

@@budfoon Yeah, i saw this trailer on Diva Zappa`s Twitter account. Looks really promising.
@@sveinunglidsheim5828 Alex Winter [from Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure(s)] produced it, and it was crowd-funded via Kickstarter. I'm quite stoked for it.
The Velvet Underground's first album wasn't a double.
To understand Zappa listen to his first LP from 1963 "Freak Out"
Lol, or the Velvet Underground's first double album from 1960
feel like i'm just watching people philosophize and ramble on about their opinions about Zappa.....yawnnnn
FY FAN, VA TRÅKIGT.!!!
At 9:29 Ian Fortnam speaks of Tom Wilson's vision as a producer. He had no idea what he was dealing with when it came to Zappa. He thought he had discovered America's Rolling Stones. Also, Wilson never produced John Coltrane, certainly not as a leader. That was a Cecil Taylor album and Coltrane wasn't even credited under his own name. The 16 Track Recorder used on Hots Rats was at Whitney Studios. Zappa himself hadn't "taken delivery of" it. Hearing The Yardbirds in the early recordings of Alice Cooper?? What kind of drugs could this guy have taken to cause such severe brain damage?
Speccy nerds drool over the Poodle Meister
Probably the first progressive rock band on the US scene
Music is my religion and Frank Zappa is my God
I'd like to find a double of velvet underground anf nico album
There was an import compilation released on MGM that was 2 LPs called Andy Warhol's Velvet Underground but it wasn't the group's first album.
Ones bad enough.
@@Driecnk Relax. It only includes her material from the one album.
Oh dear.

At 7:35 Ben Watson states the Velvet Underground's first album was a double album which is totally fucked! He then goes on to say that Rock people are getting hold of the 'big budgets.' Zappa wasn't even allowed to properly finish Freak Out because he went so over budget and subsequently was given a mere shoe string to do Absolutely Free, the follow up album. I can't believe Watson classifies Freak Out as a Punk classic. Why does he insist on inflicting his moronic speculations upon the world? Was there ever a time when this guy isn't talking completely out of his ass?
Watson is kind of a pompous ass. His admiration of Frank is genuine but he's a stuffy, pretentious, 60's era British Leftist who thinks he's the final word on Frank. He's not.
Who are these "people", hehe?
They couldn't make coffee for Frank!
Somebody needs an orthodontist.
Pretty much all of them
I spoke to Chad Wackerman at length about FZ. He was very tough taskmaster he was the boss and he let you know it. Not very generous to his band re performance royalties etc. Usual story behind closed doors they make sure they look after Number One.
If he didn't I don't think we would have as much of him as we do.
He did not pretend to be anything else. Closed doors? No was he was right out front. He was the boss, and you worked for him..period
Chad is one to talk he was receiving around 2k a week to perform live, and where talking 1980's money here.
That's because the musicians were, basically, contractors. They were paid to do a job.
Frank wasn't buying mansions and Ferraris or throwing lavish parties with his money. He paid his musicians a full time wage for 6 months of rehearsal to get his band's performance perfect for the fans. He made a profit and used the money primarily to fund his next project, including hiring copyists, orchestras, running his studio etc. The music was his and he hired great musicians who also made their careers on the prestige of working for him, and if they didn't like the terms there were many waiting to take their place. Frank cared about the music. That was it.
SEPARATE THE LYRICS FROM THE MUSIC
Now why would you wanna go and do something like that?
Hacks talking about Frank........ no thanks!
THIS IS A TERRIBLE VIDEO - DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!!
